#455 - Sudden arrival
Jiaolong King Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? Li Chengfeng is just a junior, with neither a deep background nor remarkable achievements. How is he worthy to discuss terms with me? Moreover, most of those who cooperate with you end up in dire straits.
I am well aware of your methods. Take Leng Xiaoyao of the Fire Clan and Nie Tian, the God of War of the Evil Dragon Clan, for example. Which one of them didn't end up tragically?
How could my Jiaolong Clan follow in their footsteps? You merely want to use my clan to deal with the Demon Clan and the Evil Dragon Clan, but my clan's strength is stable. If we get involved in disputes,
we will inevitably lose experts, and then we will be in grave danger. How could I easily agree?"
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet was not angered and still smiled, "Jiaolong King, you are unaware that the reason those people met with misfortune is that they were enemies of my master.
Anyone who opposes my master will hardly escape misfortune. There are many examples to prove this.
On the other hand, those who sincerely cooperate with my master are all thriving and prosperous."
Jiaolong King Xiao Fei merely snorted coldly, his aura erupting, indicating, "No matter how eloquent you are, you cannot move me.
Although I cannot directly capture you, I will definitely study your substitute puppet carefully."
"The fact that Frog Saint can transform into an Evil Dragon with an aura so pure that it is difficult to distinguish the truth is also of research value to our Jiaolong Clan.
I will carefully study both of you. Unless Li Chengfeng can offer conditions that satisfy me, cooperation is purely wishful thinking."
Frog Saint trembled all over and said, "Master, you have really harmed me.
I knew I shouldn't have come. This Jiaolong King doesn't play by the rules, he's extremely clever and can calculate everything."
Jiaolong King Xiao Fei laughed loudly in response, "You stupid toad, among the aquatic clans, my Jiaolong Clan is supreme.
Unless you hand over the substitute puppet technique and all his Dao of formations, don't even think about me cooperating with you, let alone protecting you.
Without corresponding benefits, why should he negotiate cooperation with me? If the strengths are not equal, how can cooperation be discussed?
Do you understand? How can he, a mere Core Formation initial stage cultivator, be compared with me, or even a half-step Demon Emperor?"
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet seemed to be prepared and said calmly, "My master knew long ago that you are this kind of person, unwilling to act without seeing benefits.
The reason I brought Frog Saint here is to let you see that even ordinary frogs can transform into Evil Dragons, so why can't Jiaolongs become True Dragons?"
Jiaolong King's expression changed slightly, and he questioned, "Are you saying that Li Chengfeng has a way to transform my Jiaolong Clan into True Dragons?
Don't even think about it, Evil Dragons are just servants of the Dragon Clan.
They give me the Dragon Transformation Art, allowing me to transform into an Evil Dragon, and then seek Dragon Blood from the Dragon Clan to become a True Dragon. What ability does your Li Chengfeng have to achieve this step?"
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet replied with a smile, "Naturally, I am confident, otherwise, why would my master send me here? My master has also obtained and cultivated the Dragon Transformation Art.
However, cultivating this art is inseparable from the Dragon Clan. Without Dragon Blood, not only can one not become a True Dragon, but one may even die with broken meridians.
This is why Jiaolongs are willing to serve the Evil Dragon Clan.
If you don't want to repeat the same mistake, you should know the wise thing to do. I see that you have not cultivated the Dragon Transformation Art, which is quite wise."
Jiaolong King Xiao Fei laughed and said, "Li Chengfeng is indeed Li Chengfeng, exceptionally intelligent.
So this frog cultivated the Dragon Transformation Art, and after modification, it actually turned into this appearance, indeed having some means.
He acts cautiously, only sending a substitute puppet and this toad here, so even if they fall into my hands, he will be safe.
His substitute puppet doesn't mind dying once, but you, toad, don't you feel like you've been played and betrayed?
Why don't you submit to my Jiaolong Clan, cooperate with me, and tell me how you transformed into an Evil Dragon, and I can spare your life."
Frog Saint had long intended to surrender, but seeing Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet, he felt fear.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense! I will always be loyal to my master, even if you kill me, I will not surrender!"
He knew very well that he harbored the Old Demon's secret within his body, and that Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet would explode and teleport when in danger, allowing them to escape at any time.
Thinking of this, he was full of confidence and didn't want to stay any longer.
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet mocked, "Everyone says that Jiaolong King is unparalleled in wisdom, but seeing you today, you are extremely foolish.
You don't know how to seize a great opportunity that is placed right in front of you, only knowing how to be arrogant."
Jiaolong King Xiao Fei was furious upon hearing this, "How noble is I, the Jiaolong King, how can you belittle me?
Even human experts at the half-step Divine Transformation stage must be respectful in front of me. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't wake up.
Although Li Chengfeng is clever, he can deceive others, but he cannot deceive me. I will naturally accept the benefits he offers."
Having said that, Jiaolong King Xiao Fei suddenly extended his dragon claws, and the powerful force instantly enveloped the substitute puppet and Frog Saint, rendering them unable to move, and their mana unable to circulate.
The Old Demon wanted to help, but dared not act rashly due to the Jiaolong King's terrifying strength and home advantage. Escape was hopeless within the formation. Just as Frog Saint closed his eyes and awaited death, a formation suddenly appeared in front of him, with white light soaring into the sky.
Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet shone with a milky white light, the light of coordinates,
At the core of the formation, three figures appeared. Li Chengfeng stood in the center, his black robe fluttering gently in the wind, his eyes deep, seemingly able to see through the vicissitudes of all things in the world.
Beside him, the Old Abbot Kongxian's powerful strength at the half-step Divine Transformation stage naturally flowed out, stirring every inch of space in the Jiaolong Hall, forcing the formations within the hall to activate on their own, and then slowly disintegrate.
On the other side, the current Abbot Wuming had merged with the Demon Monk Wumo, his aura becoming even more majestic.
The presence of two half-step Divine Transformation stage beings made Jiaolong King feel a chill in his heart, and he felt an unprecedented fear for the first time.
The old Jiaolong Xiao Fei's eyes were like torches, and he questioned, "Dizang Temple, what are you trying to do? You are actually in league with Li Chengfeng, are you declaring war on my Jiaolong Clan?
If you don't want the human race to suffer, and don't want innocent monks to be harmed, leave quickly!"
"Amitabha," the Old Abbot Kongxian said in a deep voice, "Jiaolong King, many years have passed, and your way of treating guests seems to have deteriorated.
Now that I have arrived here, I will not leave easily. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away. If the matter is not resolved, how can I leave without permission?"
"Hold on," the current Abbot Wuming interjected, "Jiaolong King, you don't need to use your power to intimidate others. You know the strength of Dizang Temple very well.
Now that my shortcomings have been eliminated, and I have merged with the Buddha and the Demon, if you don't believe it, you can try it."
Having said that, the aura around his body suddenly erupted, and the restrictions of the hall shattered in response, demonstrating the powerful force of breaking through formations, the power of the Buddha and the Demon surging, causing Jiaolong King Xiao Fei to retreat involuntarily.
Faced with the threat of two half-step Divine Transformation stage beings, Jiaolong King Xiao Fei knew that they were difficult to deal with. Even though this was his home ground, it would be difficult to resist the joint destruction of the two.
He calculated in his heart that if they really fought, his clansmen would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Li Chengfeng, on the other hand, appeared unusually calm, standing quietly among them, not saying a word, only silently listening to the words of all parties.
Jiaolong King Xiao Fei finally made up his mind and said coldly, "Alright, speak quickly. You have joined forces with Li Chengfeng, you merely want to use me to fight against the Demon Clan and the Evil Dragon Clan.
However, my Jiaolong Clan will choose to remain neutral this time and preserve our strength. Without sufficient benefits, I will never let my clansmen take the risk of dying."
